Kaminari Taiko returns to New Orleans for one of favorite annual events, the New Orleans Japan Fest.

This all-day, family-friendly event features music, art, cultural demonstrations, costumes, food, and gifts celebrating Japanese culture. The festival is held in and around the New Orleans Museum of Art in City Park. While you're there, check out the museum's eye-catching exhibits and beautiful sculpture garden.

Festival admission is $4 adult / $2 child for Louisiana residents and $5 / $2.50 for out-of-state visitors.

Kaminari Taiko will perform on the front steps of the museum in three thirty-minute performances at 10:00, 12:30, and 4:00.

We'll see you there!
